IRS Recovery Rebate Credit: Are you eligible?

If you missed out on receiving the stimulus check issued by the federal government in 2021, you can claim this amount through the IRS Recovery Rebate Credit.

Eligibility Criteria:

• You must have been eligible for a 2021 stimulus check.
• If you did not receive all or part of the payment, you can claim it.
• You must file a 2021 tax return by April 15, 2025.
• Single filer: Annual income less than $75,000
• Married couple (filing jointly): Annual income less than $150,000
• Head of Household: Annual income less than $112,500

Senate and low-income individuals who file no taxes can obtain the benefit after completing a simplified tax return.

Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD)

The state of Alaska annually distributes a share of oil revenue to its residents, called the PFD.

2025 PFD payment dates:

• March 20, 2025
• April 17, 2025
• May 15, 2025

Requirements to receive PFD:

• Must be an Alaska resident for the entire 2024 year.
• The state resident maintains no present plans of leaving their home state.
• To qualify for the benefit you neither file taxes as a resident of another state nor are classified as a resident in any other state.
• No serious criminal record.

The application period for PFD ends on March 31, 2025 and thus only applicants who complete their paperwork before the deadline will obtain the benefit.

Prince George’s County, Maryland Proposal

In March 2025, the Prince George’s County administration proposed a $2 million grant that could provide federal employees with $1,000 in aid.

Has it been approved?

• No, it’s still under review.
• This will only be available to federal employees who were involuntarily laid off.
• Those who voluntarily resigned or received a package will not receive this assistance.

Important: This is not a national or state-level scheme, but a locally proposed relief program.
